VENTURIST
T H E S T O R Y
The Venturist concept and the fact that this watch would be called ‘Venturist’ came two years after the moment we decided to release a watch with TIMELAB’s Chronometric+ Observatory certification. It was not until the summer of 2018 that Tom made the first sketches of a watch that he wanted to fit in with the different facets of the OC + certification. He then enlisted the help of designer Matthieu Allègre who transformed his sketches into the watch as it is today.
Finally and not unimportant; the Venturist answers the question whether a very small brand like ours could be the first in the world to achieve OC+ certification with a brand new watch.

THE CASE
Ideal for everyday use or under rugged conditions, the Venturist’s case is made of high quality 316L stainless steel, measures 41 mm in diameter, the sweet spot of case sizes, and sits only 10,5 mm high. The case has a polished case band and faceted lugs. Both the slim bezel and the top of the lugs have a satin brush finish to gain minimal attention..
DIAL & STRAP
The legibility of the matte black dial, as seen through a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, is excellent in both day and night, with Super-LumiNova BGW9 pigment on all Rhodium plated hands and hand-applied hour markers. As the name suggests the Super-Luminova phosphorescent pigment emits a blue-green glow by night and is white in daylight conditions.
The Venturist comes with a Genuine Shell Cordovan leather strap and a black NATO strap.
MOVEMENT
The Venturist features Lebois & Co's COSC-certified LC-201 automatic caliber, boasting 28,800 vph, a 38-hour power reserve, and exquisite decorative details. Additionally, it holds the Observatoire Chronométrique+ certification for chronometry, on-wrist performance, water resistance, anti-magnetism, and power reserve.
Every individual Venturist is tested in Geneva for 21 days in order to receive the ‘Observatoire Chronométrique+’ certificate, a guarantee issued by independent Swiss horology laboratory TIMELAB. The Chronometric+ Observatory certification certifies that a watch complies with the requirements drawn up by the laboratory and authorises it to bear the prestigious and official title of “chronometer watch” in accordance with the internationally recognised ISO/CEI 3159 standard. The guarantee covers the finished watch and extends to other aspects relating to its reliability such as water resistance (ISO 22810), magnetic resistance (ISO 764), power reserve and performance on the wrist, in conditions representative of modern life.
